    Speaker Wiring Issue

    The "original" speakers were the 15 Ohm Celestions. I can only suppose that the cabinet that I thought was new was actually pre-owned and someone switched out the original speakers.

    Speaker Wiring Issue

    I have an early 80's Mitchell CELE GB 4-12 speaker cabinet. I removed the original speakers many years ago and want to re-install them, but I can't figure out how to wire them. The original (4) speakers are 15 Ohm Celestion G12-80s, and the cabinet label at the input socket says 8 Ohms. How is...

    iCloud Collaboration

    So, a buddy and I started building some songs by sharing GarageBand files online because he lives about 2-1/2 hours away (in Texas, distance is measure with a clock). This is one of his songs with him on lead vocals, bass, guitar and mandolin. I laid down three baritone guitar tracks, programmed...

    Parts without Parts

    I have five Seymour Duncan pickups. Four of them have never been installed. The '59 Neck I removed from a Schecter, and the other for were purchased for guitars I never built. Somehow, I've still managed to loose many mounting screws, springs, and the little rubber tubes that are used in lieu of...

    Pickguard Shielding

    The Strat type pickguards I purchase from Warmoth have foil shielding for the control cavity only. Would there be any advantage to continuing that shieding to cover the areas that surround the single coil pickup openings and and the channels where the single coil pickup wires travel toward the...

    HSS Auto-Split w/Std. 5-Way Blade Switch vs Added Toggle

    I know just enough about wiring to know that I don't know enough. I like to have a plan and do a tidy wiring job on the first try, but this situation has me baffled. There are plenty of wiring diagrams/resources for auto-splitting a bridge humbucker to combine it with a single coil in parallel...

    Cover Replacements for Classic Stack Plus

    I have a White neck and middle and for a project guitar would prefer they were black. Are covers available for them, or are they not replaceable?

    HSS WIRING HELP (again?)

    I apologize if this has been covered. My search for this exact issue has not produced any results. Please tell me if this is possible ... and if it is, how to do it. I'm building an HSS stratish guitar. I would like to auto split the humbucker so that one of it's coils can be paired with the...

    1,000th Time

    No doubt this has been covered before - specifically for Telecasters and similar T-style guitars. What gauge strings do you use? I'm about to overhaul my MIM Tele, and the older (and apparently weaker) I get the less I like bending strings on the 25-1/2" scale. I am currently set up for 10s and...

    OLD GUITAR SPECS?

    I have a MIM Tele, and I see on Fender's website how to date it based on the serial number. But does anyone know how to determine the actual specs ... you know - body wood species etc.

    OCD - OD

    Not the Fulltone. I like it way too much to sell it, but it's not on the board. I've been using a Wampler Ecstasy (Euporia) overdrive into a Jetter Gold 45/100 distortion pedal for a little over a year. Today a Wampler Tumnus Deluxe showed up, and I wanted to demo it against the Ecstasy. I...

    NPD

    Wampler Ego Compressor I have an analogman mini bi-comp somewhere in my pedal warehouse, but since my desire to board mount one resurfaced I opted for something with a little more control. When I used a compressor before I mounted it immediately after the tuner. I haven't experimented with...

    2 4-wire HB pickups selections

    What combinations of coil sets are available using two 4-wire humbucking pickups and a standard 5-way switch with no additional toggles or push-pull pots? For example, a PRS Custom 24 is furnished wired for the following selections: Position One: Bridge humbucker Position Two: Bridge...
